KAT6A Families,On March 1, 2018, Dr. Francis Collins, the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) dedicated his blog posting to Dr. Valerie Arboleda’s research on KAT6A.  This blog post provides great visibility for our community and the KAT6A Foundation, and is a very good summary of her research plan. https://directorsblog.nih.gov/…/creative-minds-looking-fo…/…

I also wanted to recognize and thank all of the families who supported the Children’s National Race For Every Child over the past several years. It was funds you raised for those events that supported her initial research. This research provided the early findings that helped her win the NIH grant that will help sustain this research going forward. So congratulations to all of you for helping further KAT6A research. And thank you for your continued support of our new KAT6A Foundation as we continue to raise funds to support future research.
